Hoosier
is also changing the 10.7x5.5-6 tire, which is the most common left
rear used in oval dirt karting, to 11.0x6.0-6. This change is taking
place to help customers easily identify the appropriate left rear tire
for their application. Once the current inventory of 10.7x5.5-6 tires
are sold, the 11.0x6.0-6 will be released. Catalog 11376 will replace
11375 and catalog 11401 will replace 11400.
